Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup walnuts
2 tablespoons pine nuts
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon softened butter
¾ cup firmly packed basil leaves
¼ cup firmly packed parsley leaves
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Place walnuts, pine nuts, salt, pepper, garlic, butter, basil, and parsley in to a blender or food processor. Turn the blender on, and add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Continue processing until a soft paste has formed. Fold in Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Store in the refrigerator covered by 1/4 inch of olive oil to prevent the surface from turning brown.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the pesto didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. Maybe I'll try using a different brand of olive oil next time.
